My temps were bothering me too, this is 3.8GHz, stock voltage, and on a little double 120mm fan radiator. Last night around midnight I was fustrated enough to think maybe I seated it wrong on the processor - so I started tightening the 4 screws on the water block then one of them snapped and broke off in the backplate/mount on the backside of the motherboard..."Frick", among some other things were then yelled.
Around 4am I had everything fixed, replaced back plate, rigged a nice little home made retention bracket, touch of AS5, zip tied the crap out of everything, etc etc etc and I'm a whopping 2 degrees cooler.
By 7am I think I just stopped caring. I may buy a swiftech triple rad from newegg when they come back in stock OR just use the mini fridge again and stick the radiator in that lol.
Did exactly that with my phenom 9500 system and it reached 1 deg C idle and 2 deg C load. But I was too paranoid about condensation to leave it up for more than about 30 minutes.
